Wrexham not getting carried away after good start

Ollie Palmer says Wrexham will not get carried away after what has been a positive start to the League One campaign for Phil Parkinson's side.

The Red Dragons beat Reading 3-0 at the Racecourse to sit fourth in the table having collected seven of the first nine points on offer this term.

But immediately after his side's convincing victory over the Royals, Palmer admitted his full focus was already on Saturday's trip to Peterborough United (15:00 BST), and not on the club's impressive August so far.

“It’s a good start to the season but that's all it is, we are not going to get carried away and I know the coaching staff aren’t going to get carried away," said Palmer.

"Obviously, you'd rather a good start than a bad start, but three games in against three top League One teams that will be fighting at the right end of the table, that’s all it is.

"It's something for us to build on, we go back to training on Monday and look forward to Peterborough away."

In beating Ruben Selles' side in north Wales, Wrexham extended their run of scoring the most home league goals, 68, of any side in England's top four divisions since the beginning of the 2023-24 campaign.

But Elliot Lee echoed Palmer's sentiments that the club will remain grounded after making their mark early on in the campaign.

“Everyone knows we had a bit of an unbelievable pre-season last season, but it was a bit disrupted and unorganised and that was probably the reason for a sloppy start to last season," said Lee.

"But this year we’ve had a brilliant pre-season, really organised and we’ve hit the ground running and we've had three great results.

"When teams come to this place, it’s hard on them. [Against Reading] I think everyone was at it and we felt it out there, at one with the fans, and we can make it really tough for teams coming here and that's what we'll do."
